What is this?

Anyone know what this is? Some type of tool? Found it in my old man's old tool chest.. I've never seen one. He used to be into drugs just making sure it's not paraphernalia hahaha

Oh and it's all steel and the pin can be pushed in and out

It looks like an edge cutter for wood veneer.

How would you or what would you use it on?

Used to square off a mortise cut with a router or drill.

Corner chisel

^^^^ THIS ^^^^
It's for cutting clean corners on chiseled holes in wood. The ends of blind rabbits or mortises, for instance.

Or to clean up the corners after routing out for door hinges.

Or to clean up the corners after routing out for door hinges.

This is what it's for. Turns a round corner into a square corner when routing a hinge mortise.
